If there are allegations serious enough (founded or not) you are in the serious position of not necessarily having a phone call. Thank you broken justice system. Sure, there are 'laws'... but matters of national security supersede any federal jurisdiction due to DHS's reach. Now, sadly, anyone can make an anonymous phone call claiming xyz person has this or that illegal/dangerous activity that falls in terr*ist speculations, and voila, there's a knock on your door in a pre-dawn round up.
Ideal: Freedom of Speech. Reality: No, you cannot say what you want. You think you can. Welcome to 1984 in the making. You have experienced the hard way that it is NOT a system that lends itself to freedom of speech but in name. There are serious consequences for telling the 'wrong person' to F*** off. You were harassed, continue to be harassed, and no one in a position to actually help you seems to give a damn about your position. You're here posting in a forum, where we're pretty much useless except to talk to you, but it's unlikely anyone can change the situation here. Unless we have a solid lawyer among us...?
So what does one in your position do? My advice, keep fighting however you can. But be knowledgeable about what it will/could cost you and how much nastier it can still get with a precedent of (false) allegations... The precedent now matters more than the truth of those allegations made. Be realistic about what your resources, the mental stress on you in the long run, and that the system is not necessarily on your side, made up of a bunch of ppl doing their jobs to make their own ends meet and with practically corporate directives in a supposed system of justice. $$ is the name of the game, my friend. Stay courageous. Educate yourself. Be ready.
On a personal note, I am saddened. Gyatrul Rinpoche is the founder of the sangha where I take refuge. I am seeing everyday more and more of the worldly politics in the Institution of Buddhism. Perhaps it's why I'm still leary of "signing on" with a root guru until I know that teacher reallly really really really well... I am a refuge student of Lama Dawa whom I have certainty verified for myself is an authentic, qualified teacher. But I am still uncomfortable with all politics where the spiritual path is concerned. I am also a (destructive) cult-survivor, and never forget what I was born to and escaped, or what horrors I've witnessed in the name of "God" carried out by very ignorant humans suffering inflicting their pain and vision of religion righteousness on others.
All the best,
D. Ogyen
